ps. i recommend everyone takes a shower twice everyday

Answer

this question is so bad i can't put a positive spin on it.

Answer

To put a positive spin on something means to make it sound less bad than it actually is, or even to sound good when it's bad.

There's a Simpson's episode where Lisa is president of the US, and they refer to the new higher taxes that they need to enact as a "temporary refund adjustment" instead of "tax."  Another example is when a realtor (a person who sells houses) refers to a small house as "cozy" instead of small.
